I'm not sure I'd go all that way just to ride there as it is quite short, but the trails are fantastic. Quite natural & 'cheeky' feeling (probably due to the low traffic compared to somewhere like Cannock Chase, Llandegla) rather than the more open, relatively groomed stuff I've ridden at other trail centres. Fairly low speed techy sections with a few more flowy bits.

you will be going up or down, there is nothing inbetween, lots of rocks, lots of techy stuff.
i live there, so its interesting to see the influx of riders when it gets featured in a mag, and here what they have to say...........
" its not like cannock!" is my favourite
theres a short techy climb then a drop on to a fire road followed by the switch back climb mentioned above straight out of the car park.
from a trail design poin of view its a mare, many people blow themselves up at the start then spend the rest of the ride recovering.
take it steady from the get-go.

Eastridge isn't like most trail centres as a real effort has been made to keep a natural feel to the trails. Quite a mix there, singletrack 6" wide, switchbacks and some very steep descents. A couple of areas are classed as red and are harder than a lot of places black runs. Lots of twisty and techy.
Don't all come tho' it's great nice and quiet.
